I do, you know how much a luxury a bed is?

[ But he sounds sober, at least. And seems to be deeply considering. ]

[battling]

The couches are a luxury.

[appreciate his 100000 couches]

[decaptych]

Yeah yeah whatever, it's luxury when you've got feather pillows and fur throws on 'em.

Hey can I ask you a favour?

[battling]

Ya can ask.

[decaptych]

I promise it's not a kinky thing.

[battling]

What the fuck is this qualifier?

[decaptych]

Don't worry about it.

[ TAKING OFF HIS OUTER JACKET and handing it to him but also just holding out both of his wrists. Like a dude waiting to get handcuffed. ]

[battling]

You know this is fuckin' weird.

[Grumble, grumble, but also he remembers.

So he will.]

[decaptych]

Don't make it weird! Just do me the favour.

[battling]

You started it!

[He ties up Aikawa's hands.]

[decaptych]

Out of necessity!

[ And just pulling at this. I fully believe Bradley would get full marks in Boy Scout knot-tying. ]

Thanks.

I mean... nothing should happen, I think. It was my graduation thing, but...

[battling]

Yeah, I got it. Precautions.

[Good thing Molly isn't in here.]

[decaptych]

[ STOP HE WOULDN'T KILL MOLLY AGAIN PROBABLY KAI LEARNED HIS LESSON ]

Yep. You got it.

[ Jazzhands through his tied hands! And wiggles them a bit. ]

Jeez, you're pretty good at this aren't you.

[battling]

[You wanna think about why that is?]

I'm a wizard of many skills.

[decaptych]

[ Boy Scouts and being in jail for 23049429 years. ]

Yeah? What else hidden skills you got?

[battling]

Huntin', planning, leadership, gettin' Owen and Mithra to do anything, jewelry appraisal.

[decaptych]

I feel like this is a really weird skillset to have.

[battling]

I'm older than ya I can do whatever I want.

[decaptych]

This means nothing to me!

[battling]

Work on your own skills!

[decaptych]

Knife throwing. Athletic jumps. People-tossing. Evading angry kitchen chefs with knives.

[battling]

[He looks a little wistful at "angry kitchen chefs with knives"]

[decaptych]

What?

[unrecked]

[Just this from off to the side.]

[decaptych]

[ Waves at him with a bound hand. ]
